EliteXC: Unfinished Business

Recommended Posts

Holy shit... this is in two days. I just realized that five seconds ago. We need a thread for this and we welcome our casual MMA fans like Marvinisalunatic and Black Lushus.

 

Here's the card...

 

MAIN CARD (CBS)

 

Champ Robbie Lawler vs. Scott Smith (for EliteXC middleweight title)

Jake Shields vs. Nick Thompson (for EliteXC welterweight title)

Thomas Denny vs. Nick Diaz

Shayna Baszler vs. Cristiane Cyborg

Jeremy Freitag vs. Anthony Ruiz (swing bout)

 

MAIN CARD (SHOWTIME)

 

Justin Eilers vs. Antonio Silva (for EliteXC heavyweight title)

Brian Caraway vs. Wilson Reis

Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante vs. Travis Galbraith

 

I don't have showtime so I'm going to have to hunt down a stream for that because I want to see Silva and Feijao fight. Feijao could make some serious waves at 205. As for the main card...well, Nick Diaz had better look impressive. He's looked like shit his past few times out and he's fighting a journeyman at best. He really can't afford a bad performance here.

 

The title fights are what they are. Shields should beat Thompson but he's no joke. He's given Eddie Alvarez his only professional loss and he's not a bad fighter. I also think that with a better gameplan Lawler should easily dispatch Smith.

Sucks I'll be out partying for my birthday but I imagine TFN will show a re-run of this sometime in the near future. I think we're not leaving until past 10 so hopefully that means I'll be able to catch Bigfoot murderizing Eilers.

 

Speaking of EliteXC word's coming out that in 2009 they will start running PPV's. FUCK. THAT. I like the company but they don't have an Affliction-level talent pool that justifies a 49.99 purchase.

I'll be checking it out...friend of mine is a HUGE MMA fan so I'm inviting him over for beer and fights. Don't have Showtime, though, so i'll miss the first 3 matches, but will definitely watch the CBS broadcast.

 

by the way, apparently there's a UFC Fight Night coming to Omaha in October, I believe...I'll most likely go to that one.

I wish Elite XC would run the show show simulcasted on Showtime, because us West Coasters get stuck having to wait and watch the fights on tape delay, which is extra shitty because I get Showtime East which means I will be watching the Undercard on Showtime and then have to sit around and wait three hours for the Main Card on CBS..... :(

Nick Thompson weighed in wearing tighty whities with no ass covering and a full-blown cock outline. I'd post the pic but I'm not that cruel.

 

Bigfoot looks to be in great shape.

My heavens, Mauro Ranallo sounds exactly like the AWA's Mick Karch.

 

And by the looks of things, there were some bloodbaths during the undercard.

 

YEEOUCH! The Queen of Spades hit like a ton of bricks.

Shields looks like he has some stitches in his left cheek. What's with EXC letting guys go into the cage with obvious bullseyes?

LOL at Shields saying he wants the winner of St. Pierre/Fitch. What type of fantasyland does he live in?

 

He'll be the champ for a loooong time because who are they going to get to challenge him? 170 pounds is such a UFC dominated division that Jake is cheating himself if he resigns w/ Elite XC after his current contract.

LOL at Diaz bringing the HATE during the stare-down.

 

I couldn't make out everything he was saying but I caught two "pussys" and one "fuck you."

Can you believe they are giving Anderson Silva so much face time?

 

Holy shit.

 

Speaking of Silva, James Irvin is in Scott Smith's corner and his face still looks messed up.

 

Also...Baszler was wearing Sinful, Smith Xtreme Couture...those are both Affliction brands. Guess EliteXC didn't ban them as well.

I enjoyed the show...I actually liked it a lot more than "Kimbo's Big Night".

 

Question for you MMA guys...is that Cyborg chick going to give my girl a run for her money?

She could, though it's likely Carano won't even bother trying to make weight this time and will simply let her size and strength advantage show through the striking exchanges, where her power will carry her through Cyborg's volume.
